Paul Frees: John Beresford Tipton

Quotes 

• Michael Anthony : [Anthony enters the study to observe Tipton seated in a high-backed chair at his desk examining an old class photo in a school yearbook from decades before. Only Tipton's hands are visible to the viewers]  You sent for me, sir?

  John Beresford Tipton : Mike, I was just paying a visit to the past.

  [Tipton shows Anthony the photograph in the yearbook. Anthony smiles. Tipton chuckles] 

  John Beresford Tipton : You must have one of these.

  Michael Anthony : [Beaming, as he reviews the picture]  I should say I have, sir.

  John Beresford Tipton : Now, Mike, don't you smile. You may be a good many years younger than I am, but I'll wager you look just as silly in your class picture.

  [Anthony grins broadly] 

  John Beresford Tipton : However, those years were the most important of my life.

  Michael Anthony : [Returning the book]  I'd say they were the most important in any boy's life.

  John Beresford Tipton : I agree.

  [Tipton hands an envelope to Anthony] 

  John Beresford Tipton : I agree so completely, Mike, that that's why I picked our next millionaire.

  [Anthony accepts the envelope and bows]
